Binomial problems with n = 50 and p(defective) = 0.05
-------------------
a. Find the probability that among 50 such watches selected at random, exactly one is defective.
P(x=1) = 50C1*0.05*0.95^49 = 0.2025
============================================
b. Find the probability that among 50 such watches selected at random, none is defective.
P(x = 0) = 0.95^50 = 0.0759
============================================
c. Find the probability that among 50 such watches selected at random, at least one is defective.
P(x>=1) = 1-P(x=0) = 1-0.0759 = 0.9231
=========================================
